The power, sustain, and archtop beauty of the RGA is now paired with EMGs.

The RGA archtop guitar not only has hot curves but playability. For live performance, its lightweight body gives players more freedom to prowl around stage. The arched top also lets players knock down heavy riffs and power chords without hitting the guitar body. All told, curved beauty and great performance combine gracefully and powerfully in the RGA. And now, Ibanez offers you the tried and true RGA with an industry standard pair of high output EMG pickups.

Great Guitar. I've yet to encounter any difficulties with it. It's easy to play and very powerful. Low maintenance. All I've had to do so far is tune it so I could play some SOAD and clean my fingermarks off it because I just can't put it down. I'm very happy with this guitar. It's definitely worth buying.The Ibanez RGA42E is a pretty standard but great guitar. The body is very strong and sturdy. The neck is long, thin, and comfortable to play on. The tuners are easy to use and stay in tune very well. The EMG's are really good as well. I was expecting it to be heavy but it's actually pretty light. The picture does not do this Ibanez justice. This guitar is a demon. It's a little expensive but you're getting what you pay for.
